附件1：报告内容
In this paper I will present the English Profile Project, a large inter-disciplinary project run at the University of Cambridge and the University of Hertfordshire, and uniting researchers in second language acquisition, computational linguists and applied linguists with a specialization in teaching and testing English as a second / foreign language. The main aim of the project is to describe the linguistic criterial features defining the six proficiency levels represented in the Cambridge Learner Corpus (a 26 million word corpus) which align with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Currently the six levels are described functionally by so-called “can-do” statements, but do not necessarily inform the researcher – teacher - learner about the linguistic skills needed to reach the “can-do” levels.
I will introduce the organizational set-up of the project and the main researchers involved in it. I will introduce the audience to the Cambridge Learner Corpus and discuss its features. I will give a historical introduction of the EPP project and its clear and strong links with the early works by Trim and van Ek for the European Communion which led to the CEFR. I will then discuss the research questions asked, and some first findings. The paper should show the uniqueness of this project in terms of its set-up and also its potential for findings that are relevant in a large cross-disciplinary research community. Finally, it will also point out some start-up problems with the current set-up and how we are working towards solving those.

Current Position: Assistant Director of Research at the Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge.
Dr Henriëtte P J M Hendriks MA, PhD (Leiden).
Dr Hendriks obtained a Masters degree in Sinology and Linguistics (1986) and a PhD in Psycholinguistics at Leiden University in 1993, and an HDR at Paris 8 (2003). She worked as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen for 12 years, coordinating three different international research projects on first-language and second-language acquisition in the domains of time, space and reference to person in discourse and continues to be involved in various European-based projects. She has been working in the Research Centre for English and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge since 1998 and was Acting Director of RCEAL from 2007-2010. She supervises M.Phil and PhD students in the Research Centre but also internationally. Dr. Hendriks was also a Guest Professor at the Beijing Foreign Studies University (BeiWai) where she is currently visiting and teaching, an she is an associate member of the CNRS laboratory ‘Structures Formelles du Langage’, and member of the scientific council of the ‘Maison de Sciences de l’Homme’ of Lorraine. Previous and ongoing research projects and co-operations have led to an extensive number of publications. Her principal interest in psycholinguistics is in the interaction between language and cognition and language and culture involving languages as different as Dutch, German, English, French, Chinese and Polish. Research questions arising deal with the influence of language-specific differences on first- and second-language acquisition, and the effects of cognitive maturity on the acquisition process.
